Baykeeper IMAX on Tap event set for Feb. 3

Mobile Baykeeper recently announced another installment of IMAX on Tap, a special showing of Lost Worlds: Life in the Balance, on Thursday, Feb. 3, from 7-9 p.m. at the IMAX Gulf Coast Exploreum.

While this isn't the first "IMAX on Tap" event held at the Exploreum,it will be the first chance many Gulf Coast beer drinkers will have to sample New Belgium Brewing Co.'s wildly popular Fat Tire amber ale, which is currently unavailable in Alabama but will be making a "one-night-only" appearance at the event thanks to New Belgium and Budweiser-Busch Distributing, according to a press release from Mobile Baykeeper.

UPDATE: Apparently, this blog post made it all the way up to the Alcohol Beverage Control Board, who has decided not to grant the temporary label approval necessary to change Fat Tire from "contraband" to beer. As such, the tasty amber ale out of Colorado will not be available at the event, but there will be craft beer served.

Lost Worlds: Life in the Balance "shows us a glimpse of what can be when nature is protected from the modern world by taking us on an expedition to the mysterious Lost World region of southern Venezuela," according to the press release. "With its awesome, mist-shrouded high plateaus, kilometer-high waterfalls and fantastically rare creatures, viewers are able to glimpse through the area’s biological diversity a compelling story about life’s variety and our place within it. Beautiful films like this remind us to appreciate nature as a part of our daily lives and make us think about how to safeguard the natural resources in our local communities."
